FAVORABLE FOR THE CROPS.
Reports From Many Points In Dakota indicate
Pretty Rig Crop of Wheat,

So far as can be learned, the storms that
prevailed in Dakota Tuesday the 25th
inst, did comparatively little damage to
growing ctops. In n fow places tlero was
heavy hail, and crops of course suffered.
but tho damage is confined tc smnll nreas
Along the line Of the Manitoba rond only
No report of damage was received, TINT
AZ from Wuicott, where it was stated
about one Thousand acres OF wheat
were damaged. Along the Northern
Pacific little damage wns dono, and none
Mt all on the Hastings e Dakota line. The
heavy iall OF rain will DO OF great benefit
to corn, and more than offsets any injury
done by hail. AT Park River tho outlook
a promising. At America there was heavy
rain, but no damage from hail. The out
look is good for two thirds of n crop. At
Portland. Hope, Hpon, Hunter, Ghnrch's
Ferry, Dovil's Lake. Michigan City, ojala,
Bottineau and L,trimoro heavy rains
have inllcn during the past two days, and
crops are i'll fine condition. At Larimnre
farmers claim the yield will be the largest
on record. at Crookston water is stand
ing in low spots and damage viii result un-
less tho weather changes. At Euclid II
assured. AT Stephen estimates are for
twenty to twenty five bushels OF whrat to
the acre. At Reynolds wheat is
riponing very slowly ind dry weather
is needed to assure n good
yield. AT Grand Fork crops are looking
better than for years. At Ardoch and Gro
ton harvesting will begin this week. AT St.
Thomas wheat is filling and maturing rap
idly and will BE ready to cut about August
5. In Turner county, Dak., wheat will
run about 10 bushels to the acre and oats
30 bushels. There will bo n heavy crop Of
corn, late rains having done great good. In
Brookings county wheat is fully
UP To AVERAGE,
while corn is much better. At Ashton
some barley has been threshed. The out
look is very favorable, and crop predic-
tions for this locality, bnsed upon farmer' =
statements, arc; Wheat from 10 To 20
bushels per acre, or an average OF l6i bar
ley from 25 to 40, or mn average OF 81;
oats from 30 to 30, or I'm average OF 3S.
Corn looks very promising, and indica-
tions are ior the best cropcver raisca there.
In Moody county harvesting ls
pretty general, and the Indications
point to the largest yield for years. probn'
bly, sixteen to twenty bushels per acre.
Flax will run about ton bushels. and oats
not over thirty five. At Salem the yield
will equal that OF last year, with the quail
ity much better. In come parts OF Densl
county the wheat crop is heavy, while in
other localities it is light. An nvernge
yield OF twelve bushels per acre would not
be an overestimate for the county. Oats
are thin on the ground and short, though
we'll filed An average OF a hnlf,crop,
or twenty bushels per acre, ~, Is
acreage is more than double last year,
and tho present prospect Is for worry
heavy crop. Harvesting has pretty gen
orally begun around Mitchell, with re
suits lar in excess of the expectations Of II
few weeks ago. In Dawson county tho
wheat yield will run from eight to fifteen
bushels an acre on the average; oats
will turn out poorly, except In cor
tain localities, while tho earn cror
bushels, the best showing 1t has made II
three years. In Wausau, Hutchinson

counties tho average yield il fully rs good
and in the first namod even better than il
the others. Early grain in Stntsmar

ready for tho reaper in n week or ten days
